I tried to break Lion by making a manual change to the "com.apple.finder.plist" prefs file.

Opened it with Xcode.
Added the boolean key 'AppleShowAllFiles' and set it to 'true'.
Closed the file.
Relaunched Finder.

Invisible files are now visible and the Finder has no problems.

Manually changed the key to 'false'; Relaunch Finder.

Again, Finder is operating normally and invisibles are invisible.

There seem to be new rules about how System Events is allowed to write a preference file.
I wish I knew what they were.
